  2. Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect

    The Doppler effect (also Doppler shift) is the change in the frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the source of the wave. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The Doppler effect is named after the physicist Christian Doppler , who described the phenomenon in 1842.

  3. A Slower Speed of Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Slower_Speed_of_Light

    These effects include the Doppler Effect (red/blue-shifting of visible light and the shifting of ultraviolet and infrared into the visible spectrum), the Searchlight Effect (increased brightness in the direction of travel), Time Dilation (difference between the passage of time perceived by the player and the outside world), Length Contraction ...

  4. Relativistic Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_Doppler_effect

    The relativistic Doppler effect is the change in frequency, wavelength and amplitude [1] of light, caused by the relative motion of the source and the observer (as in the classical Doppler effect, first proposed by Christian Doppler in 1842 [2]), when taking into account effects described by the special theory of relativity.

  5. Relativistic beaming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_beaming

    Only a single jet is visible in M87. Two jets are visible in 3C 31.. In physics, relativistic beaming (also known as Doppler beaming, Doppler boosting, or the headlight effect) is the process by which relativistic effects modify the apparent luminosity of emitting matter that is moving at speeds close to the speed of light.

  6. Weather radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_radar

    Weather radar in Norman, Oklahoma with rainshaft Weather (WF44) radar dish University of Oklahoma OU-PRIME C-band, polarimetric, weather radar during construction. Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.).

  7. Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar

    A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. [1] It does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal.

  8. Trainz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trainz

    Trainz Simulator 12, or TS12, was released on 12 April 2011. Among other upgrades, this product offers a variety of new routes, doppler effect support, satellite view, and a multiplayer feature for the first time (multiplayer was publicly tested in TS2010 SP4). A Trainz 10th Anniversary Boxset was announced which includes the game and other extras.

  9. Black-body radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation

    The relativistic Doppler effect causes a shift in the frequency f of light originating from a source that is moving in relation to the observer, so that the wave is observed to have frequency f': ′ = ⁡ /, where v is the velocity of the source in the observer's rest frame, θ is the angle between the velocity vector and the observer-source ...
